Chapter 3811

Ao Zhantian nodded with a smile. "Yes, Shui Mingzi had discussed this with me before. However, I had an important matter to attend to, so I didn't agree to his request.

Today, I came here to discuss this matter with Daoist Master. "

"Oh?" Xiao Hua was stunned. "What do you want to discuss with me?"

Ao Zhantian pondered for a moment and sent a voice transmission. "Do you know about Dragon Island?"

Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean by that?

Which cultivator on the Hidden Immortal Continent doesn't know about Dragon Island? "

"If you have the opportunity to go to Dragon Island, would you be willing?" Ao Zhantian stared at Xiao Hua's face as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts.

If Xiao Hua hadn't met Ao Zhantian, he would've been very interested in Ao Zhantian's suggestion. However, it was clear that Ao Zhantian's so-called opportunity wouldn't be as good as Ao Zhantian's. Xiao Hua couldn't help but hesitate.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hua asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me the reason behind this matter?"

"Alright!" Ao Zhantian saw Xiao Hua's hesitation and had a bad feeling. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell him everything.

After Ao Zhantian finished explaining everything, Xiao Hua stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

The reason why Ao Zhantian's surname was "Ao" was because there was an additional "person" in his surname compared to the "Ao" of the Dragon Palace. This meant that he was a distant relative of the Dragon Palace's bloodline. This was also what Xiao Hua had seen at the Jade Pavilion Conference. Ao Zhantian had the Crimson Dragon Bloodline and could use the True Spirit Avatar.

Of course, Ao Zhantian's bloodline existed in both the human and demon races. The Dragon Palace didn't really care about them.

However, these demons and humans were all descendants of the Dragon Bloodline. Therefore, every hundred years, the Dragon Palace would hold a selection ceremony to select the purer and more powerful disciples to enter Dragon Island.

However, Ao Zhantian and the other descendants of the Dragon Bloodline only had three chances. If they couldn't set foot on Dragon Island after three chances, they would lose the right to enter Dragon Island.

The Dragon Island was a mysterious place. It was as famous as the Immortal Palace, the Thunder Temple, and the Great Sage Hall. There were countless treasures on the island. If an ordinary cultivator could obtain even one of them, they would be able to take a huge step forward in their cultivation.

Although this Dragon Island's training area wasn't the core of the Dragon Island, in order to obtain this opportunity, these descendants with the dragon's bloodline would fight until their heads bled every time. And what made them satisfied was that as long as they could survive the Dragon Island, without exception, they would reap great rewards. There had never been an exception.

Coincidentally, ten years later, it would be the time for the hundred-year selection. Ao Zhantian had already participated in the selection ceremony twice, and he had failed to obtain the right to enter the Dragon Island. This was his last chance.

Moreover, if Ao Zhantian passed the selection ceremony, even if he didn't gain anything from the Dragon Island, his name would be recorded in the register of the Dragon Palace. Even if he reached the Out of Aperture Stage in the future, the Immortal Palace wouldn't force him too much out of consideration for the Dragon Palace.

Thus, Ao Zhantian placed great importance on this selection, which was why he had come to ask Xiao Hua for help.

Xiao Hua thought for a moment, and thought to himself, I can use Ao Zhan to enter the Dragon Island, but the problem is whether Ao Qian can be rescued.

Even if Ao Qian is rescued, the East Sea Dragon Palace will definitely look for the culprit behind Ao Qian's assassination. In that case, they will inevitably look for me. I have a history with the Heavenly Cave River, and I know the ins and outs of the Dragon Island.

If I go to Ao Zhan, not only will he betray me, but the people of the Dragon Palace will also interrogate me. Wouldn't I be walking right into their trap?

Rather than taking that risk, I might as well follow Ao Zhantian. Either way, there are humans and demons here, and it'll be easier to avoid them.

"Daoist Ao …" Xiao Hua asked, "This selection is an opportunity for your dragon bloodline descendants, what does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it has to do with me!"

Ao Zhantian laughed. "I can bring my guards to participate in the selection, this is the rule of the Dragon Palace.

Once I pass the selection, my guards can also follow me to the Dragon Island. "

"Damn it, you're a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Dao Gate, why do you need guards?" Xiao Hua asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ao Zhantian shrugged and replied, "I have no choice, this is the custom of the Dragon Palace!

If the descendants of the Dragon Palace don't bring guards, then they're not descendants of the Dragon Palace.

Even if I don't bring guards, those arrogant demons and Confucian cultivators will. "

"En, I understand!" Xiao Hua nodded. "But where will the selection be held this time?"

"The North Sea Dragon Palace is hosting the selection this time!"

Ao Zhantian explained. "As for where it is, we'll only know when we arrive at the designated place."

"The North Sea Dragon Palace!" Xiao Hua smiled. As long as it wasn't the East Sea Dragon Palace or the West Sea Dragon Palace, Xiao Hua was willing to go.

"Alright!" Xiao Hua nodded. "If that's the case, I'll go with you and try my luck!"

"Good!" Ao Zhantian clapped. "I knew that Daoist Master Xiao would definitely lend me a hand!

Now, I'll go with you. "

"Ah?

So soon? "Xiao Hua was a little surprised.

"Why don't we hurry up?"

Ao Zhantian asked curiously. "The Hidden Immortal Continent is currently in a dangerous situation. Who knows when the Heavenly Immortal Palace will send their fury down. If we rush to the North Sea Dragon Palace's territory now, even if the Heavenly Immortal Palace wants to vent their anger on us, they won't be able to do anything to us!

Besides, I've already prepared a lot for this selection. Fellow Daoist doesn't need to prepare anything. You just need to follow me! "

Although Xiao Hua knew that Ao Zhantian and Shui Mingzi were right, he really couldn't leave!

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hua smiled. "How about this? Fellow Daoist Ao, you tell me the designated place of the North Sea Dragon Palace and I promise to arrive in ten years. How about that?"

"O … Alright!

It seems like that's the only way. "

Seeing that Xiao Hua had already made up his mind, Ao Zhantian didn't force him. Just like Shui Mingzi, he took out his own token and a jade eye ring and handed them to Xiao Hua before turning to leave. However, before Ao Zhantian left, he didn't forget to turn back and say, "Also … Daoist Master Xiao, we've gathered here for too long. Perhaps we've already attracted the attention of the Confucian cultivators. If we fall into the Heavenly Immortal Palace's ears, it will definitely be detrimental to the Black Wind Ridge. You should prepare early."

"En, I understand. I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist to inform the other Fellow Daoists that I'll be holding a farewell banquet tomorrow morning and invite all Fellow Daoists to attend." Xiao Hua had already thought of a plan.

"Okay!" The last stone in Ao Zhantian's heart was lifted and he left with a smile.

There was no need to mention the farewell banquet. Xiao Hua raised his cup and the other cultivators also raised their cups. According to the blood oath, as long as Xiao Hua needed them for a thousand years, they would be at his beck and call!

Of course, other than the early Nascent Soul cultivator, Royal Highness Lan, there were many Golden Core cultivators who decided to stay in the Black Wind Ridge after seeing how prosperous the Fortune Gate was.

After the banquet, the group of cultivators bid farewell and flew out in batches. However, there were too many Daoist cultivators working for Xiao Hua. In order not to attract the attention of the Confucian cultivators, these cultivators flew for an entire day before gradually dispersing.

Shui Mingzi and Ao Zhantian were the last to leave the Capital Star Formation. There was no one else in the Black Wind Ridge anymore. Xiao Hua turned around and walked into his cave.

Xiao Hua had just sat down in his cave when Royal Highness Lan came in with dozens of Golden Core cultivators.

As soon as Royal Highness Lan entered the cave, he immediately bowed and said, "Daoist Master Xiao, I have chatted with fellow Daoist Xiong a few times in the past few days. Although fellow Daoist Xiong did not tell me too much, I already know quite a bit about what happened in the country of Jiang.

Now that I've reached a bottleneck in my cultivation, I'm especially worried about my lifespan. Since I've already made a blood oath to serve Daoist for five hundred years, I don't have much time to squander after these five hundred years. Rather than that, why don't I just become Daoist's disciple and receive your guidance? "

"Junior is also willing to become Daoist Xiao's disciple!" About twenty Golden Core cultivators bowed and said in unison.

Xiao Hua looked at Royal Highness Lan and thought inwardly. Royal Highness Lan was also saved by him during the Jadestage Conference. This cultivator's shrewdness was above Xiong Yi's, and his ability to judge the situation was even better than Xiong Yi's. In the short few years he had been in the Black Wind Ridge, he had seen a lot of things, such as the origin stone mine, the Capital Star Formation, and the battle between Jiang Country and Copper Pillar Country.

However, Xiao Hua looked at these cultivators and said solemnly, "Royal Highness Lan, if it was in the past, I would welcome you to become my disciple. After all, you can gather the power of the Dao Sect and protect our Dao Sect from the influence of Confucian cultivators.

But now that the Jadestage Mountain has changed, if you become my disciple, you might be implicated. Are you … still willing? "

"Haha, Daoist Xiao is overthinking!"

Royal Highness Lan laughed and said, "I have thought about it over these years. I have suffered a lot in order to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. I have also suffered a lot under the pressure of Confucian cultivators.

If Daoist Xiao hadn't saved me during the Jadestage Conference, I would have died long ago. People who have died once can see things that ordinary cultivators can't compare to.

Daoist Xiao's mind is broad and his magic power is boundless. If I can receive Daoist Xiao's guidance, not only can my cultivation improve, I can also hide from Confucian cultivators under Daoist Xiao's protection. Why wouldn't I be happy?

This disciple is willing to become Daoist Xiao's disciple! "

Royal Highness Lan knelt on the ground.

The twenty Golden Core disciples also knelt and shouted, "Junior is also willing to become Daoist Xiao's disciple!"

"Good …" Xiao Hua nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone call out from outside the cave, "Wait …"

"Oh?" Xiao Hua was stunned and raised his head to look.

He saw Li Xiang rushing into the cave with dozens of his disciples behind him.

Li Xiang entered the cave and immediately knelt beside Royal Highness Lan and said anxiously, "Daoist Xiao, I am also willing to enter the Fortune Gate!"
